Just in time for Black Friday and the upcoming holiday season...

Rivers Cuomo, Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo (left)
If the rumors about Rivers are right (having written thousands of demos over the years), expect (many, many) more of these albums.

Kayne West, 808s & Heartbreak
This is the part of the story where we find out what Kanye did after he dropped out of college...he bought a vocorder.

The Killers, Day & Age
The ampersand makes a big comeback this week.

Guns N' Rose, Chinese Democracy
I know, I can't believe it either.

Coldplay, Prospekt's March
You didn't think Coldplay was going to let the holiday season pass without releasing a brand new EP, did you?

Ludacris, Theater of Mind
Cameos from T-Pain and Lil' Wayne (big deal). And cameos from Spike Lee and Chris Rock (wait, what?!).

Scott Weiland, "Happy" in Galoshes
Not only did Scott Weiland lose Axl's former bandmates, but he also made the mistake of picking this week to release his brand new album.

Stephen Colbert, A Colbert Christmas: The Greatest Gift of All!
Yes, a music album, and yes, it's actually pretty good (then again he's got some pretty high-profile guests helping him out).

White Zombie, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie (Box Set)
Whew, I was drawing a blank on what to get my Mom for Christmas.
